May 14, 2021: Tired, Irritable, and Suffering From Brain Fog.
I got my first vaccine shot today. It was a surprisingly painless process. And I stress “surprisingly” because I felt absolutely nothing when I received the injection – which led me to briefly entertain the notion that the nurse had faked it and was squirreling away the extra dose for sale to the black market. Of course countering this theory is the fact that, as I write this, I’m a tired, irritable, and suffering from brain fog. Giving the theory life, on the other hand, is the fact that I am often tired, irritable, and suffering from brain fog.
I tweeted this out the other day in response to a fellow writer dealing with the cold realities of working with this industry. It’s nothing new that I haven’t said on this blog before, but it bears repeating.
Today’s Yes/No. Check out this culinary monstrosity…
Deep Dish Pizza? Yes/No
Admittedly, probably the unpalatable Yes/No to date. https://t.co/YM1NkHJjoe

Hey, Texans. Care to weigh in here?
And here are the rules of southern barbecue. Apparently. What say you, southerners?
Today’s Yes/No. I have to admit – I’m curious to try…

The other day, I posted what, no doubt, is a controversial opinion. Cheesecake is NOT cake. It’s a pie! And, well, it looks like the internet agrees with me.
Yep, the entire internet. Roughly 450 people. There’s no arguing with democracy.
Today’s Yes/No. I have to admit, I do admire this woman’s ingenuity in coming up with progressively more revolting preparations.
Velveeta Manicotti Hot Dog Casserole? Yes/No

Yesterday…
Akemi: How do you spell pepper?
Me: p-e-p-p-e-r.
Akemi: And how do you spell pepper?
Me: P-E-P-P-E-R
Akemi: What about pepper?
Me: P-E-P-P-E-R!!!
Akemi: No. The first one was black pepper. The second one was the pepper you grow in the garden.

May 8, 2021: Heads Up!
New predictions now suggest the Long March rocket will crash to Earth sometime around Sunday morning but whether it will land in the ocean or on inhabited land is still open to debate.
Here's why you should (probably) be ok

More than likely it just lands somewhere the Pacific rather than directly atop your head or house. But, really, who knows?
THIS is disquietingly accurate…

The Top 10 Kpop Tracks of April, 2021
Your mileage may vary…8
***
10. Mafia in the Morning – Itzy
Doesn’t land as strongly for me as Wannabe or Not Shy, but solid nevertheless. And these ladies can dance!***
9. We Do – Super MA catchy disco foray.***
8. 5K – Lee Jin-HyukTo be honest, this song really grew on me.***
7. Save U – Kang DanielThe entire album, Yellow, is great.***
6. Headline – ABSIX
Close is the track that is getting all the attention, but this is my favorite off their latest EP.
***
5. Loved You – Bae173A really solid track.***
4. Misunderstood – Kang DanielI could’ve gone with Antidote, another great song off the new album that is getting a lot of play, but opted for Misunderstood which I think deserves a little more love.***
3. I Just – eAeon
A beautiful song off a wonderful album by a grossly underappreciated artist.
***
2. Oasis – 2ZOne of South Korean’s best rock bands delivers yet again.***
1. Drunk-Dazed – EnhypenAn awesome surprise off their second album which also includes gems like The Invitation and Mixed Up.The post The Top 10 Kpop Tracks of April, 2021 appeared first on Joseph Mallozzi's Weblog.

May 6, 2021: The Birthday Hangover!
Look at the birthday girl, all tuckered out after a day of hard partying, walking, and plenty of treats. Suji celebrated the big 1-6 yesterday in typical fashion – she slept through most of it.
So, this tweet received 6k+ likes and over 1500 retweets, meaning I’m going to have to investigate the interest/possibility with my music contact in Seoul. Now if this one pans out, it would truly be wild…
